    Battleship.......seriously?

    Didn't see this posted anywhere and search found nothing - not sure what to say.......Maybe they thought Liam Neeson would help it out.....

    Liam Neeson in it means I'll watch it. It doesn't look unwatchable. If it had any other title it'd be another popcorn blow-shiz-up action film.

    Not sure what to think. At first it comes off as a drama and then bam...Aliens.

    Liam Neeson is so much better than the projects to which he has recently attached himself. I think him failing to take the role of Lincoln in Spielberg's upcoming film is a monumental missed opportunity.

    I agree, I don't know what Neeson is thinking sometimes. If it weren't for him, I wonder if watching two guys play would be more entertaining...

    Pass. I'm holding out for "Operation: The Movie." I'm picturing it like one of the "Saw" movies - some poor slob getting parts removed with no anesthesia.

    I'd like to see it for the stupid megablockbuster action shlockfest that it'll likely be. Bonus points for the lulz when Liam Neeson says, "You sunk my battleship!"

    Also, when are we gonna see a movie based on Sorry or Monopoly?

    Has Hollywood tired of re-doing comic books already that they're now onto board games?

    This. One just had to sit back, suspend belief, and thoroughly utterly enjoy
    watching that old battleship come to life.

    I would argue watching those old guys go about their business and that
    old ship doing ITS business was the best part of the movie.

    Way too many plot holes overall, but honestly, I enjoyed it more than MIB3.

    Maybe they'd seen the movie Clue and thought "me too".
    Although Clue was a great movie.

    Just watched it on Demand a few minutes ago. I have to say that I really liked it. Sure it had some holes in it, but considering it was 2 hours and 10 minutes long, it kept me interested the whole time. And seeing them kick some alien ass was great!

    So, with Taylor Kitsch failing to be our next big movie star (and being the lead in two of the biggest flops of the year), who's next to line up for the chance? Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Tom Hardy?

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt seems to do a pretty good job at picking parts.
    Hardy, IMO, okay actor...but no..

    I love how they still call it a board game "adaptation." Not having seen it, other than the characters being on Navy ships, what the heck does an alien invasion movie have to do with the board game?

    May as well call Candyman a Candyland adaptation, because they have about as much to do with each other
